Pedro Boregaard Platinum Sterling Silver Diamond Moth Brooch
Artistic Platinum & Sterling Silver Diamond Moth Brooch — Boregaard
A striking creation by celebrated designer Pedro Boregaard, this sculptural moth brooch is crafted in platinum and sterling silver and accented with fine diamonds. Its textured wings, dotted with brilliant stones, evoke both nature’s mystery and Boregaard’s bold artistic language. A wearable objet d’art—rare, expressive, and unmistakably refined.
This exceptional brooch by Pedro Boregaard blends modernist design with the organic poetry of nature. Crafted in a combination of platinum and sterling silver, the piece captures the silhouette of a moth at rest, its wings rendered with geometric, almost archaeological patterns that feel both ancient and contemporary.
Set throughout the wings are bright round diamonds, each positioned within hand-carved circular motifs that give the brooch depth, movement, and a quiet shimmer. At the crest, a cluster of pavé-set diamonds forms a luminous crown, offering a soft contrast to the oxidized silver texture below.
Boregaard’s work is highly regarded for its sculptural presence and artistic intention, and this brooch exemplifies his ability to transform precious metals into emotive, tactile forms. This is more than jewelry—it is a designer statement piece that bridges craftsmanship and fine art.
An extraordinary addition for collectors of signed designer jewelry, modernist pieces, or Boregaard’s iconic creations.
Symbolic Interpretation
Across cultures, the moth symbolizes intuition, transformation, vulnerability, and the ability to navigate darkness guided only by an inner light. In jewelry, moth motifs are considered talismans of spiritual clarity—an emblem of following one’s path despite uncertainty.
The contrast between the luminous diamonds and the textured, shadowed metal suggests a journey from darkness toward illumination. Boregaard’s interpretation invites the wearer to embrace change with grace, resilience, and quiet strength.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
